EDITORS COMMENTS
A Christmas Carol" - A Theatrical Tradition Born out of the Depression Era: This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the essence of a live performance of Charles Dickens' timeless classic, "A Christmas Carol," presented by the Federal Theatre Project in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1938. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA), was established in 1935 to preserve and develop the skills of theater workers, re-employ them on public relief, and to bring theater to communities across the United States that had never before experienced live theatrical performances. The intricately designed playbill, titled "The Playbox...A Christmas Carol - by Dickens," is displayed prominently in the image. The graphic design showcases a stylized image of Dickens' silhouette, holding a candle, with the title of the play and the date in bold, colorful lettering. The playbill's design reflects the political climate of the time, with a subtle nod to the New Deal and the WPA's role in preserving cultural heritage through the arts. The image transports us back to a simpler time, when a live theatrical performance was a cherished cultural event. The warm glow of the candles on the stage and the anticipation in the audience's faces evoke the magic and wonder of Dickens' beloved tale. This photograph is a testament to the power of the arts to bring people together, to provide a moment of escape from the harsh realities of life, and to inspire and uplift. The Federal Theatre Project's production of "A Christmas Carol" in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1938, is a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating our cultural heritage, especially during challenging times. This photograph is a precious piece of American heritage art, and a reminder of the enduring power of live theater to captivate and delight audiences.
